她不常生病。我祖父的心脏不是很好。
我无精打采地在秋千上来回荡着,觉得很孤单。我希望能有人陪我玩。
突然,我看到了我要的人——我的祖父,他下班回来了。“爷爷!”我欢快地喊着,“快来推我一把!”
他的脸突然间变得煞白,我从没见过他那种表情,“你不该出来玩。”他粗声地对我说,好像我做了不该做的事。
“但是,”我想告诉他我只是做了大人告诉我的事情而已。“快下雨了。”他突然说。我抬头困惑地看着晴朗的蓝天,一点儿云彩也没有。
“跟我走!”他的声音中透着一丝绝望。
当我们一起上楼梯时,他抓着我的手,紧紧地抓着,好像需要什么东西支撑似的。我似乎被某种预兆紧紧地抓着。后来,我才意识到,那一刻,代表了我童年的终结。
What were you like as a child? Serious; responsible? Happy…go…lucky? Sweet…natured? Hyperactive? A playground bully? Or a timid creature clinging to your mother’s skirt?
I spent my childhood as a fly on the wall: looking; listening; taking in impressions of the world around me。 Some were awesome; reassuring: warmth and kindness; glimpses of pure joy; others worrying; confounding: falsehood and pretensions; spite; aggression and scorn。
Uncertain what to make of it all; I kept my observations and reflections strictly to myself。
Today I’m still the same fly on the wall; though somewhat less bemused; having taken on board some vital lessons of sympathy and passion; tolerance and forgiveness。
Also; over the years I have acquired enough confidence to articulate my thoughts and; at length; summoned the courage to share them this way。
We’re tempted to change as we grow older; in response to adult pressures: roles we are expected to perform; personally; professionally; standards set by our contemporaries; not forgetting the natural urge to develop and mature。
But our basic disposition remains the same。 And rather than distance ourselves from what we were as children; we should take good care of our original equipment。
As long as it’s put to good use; there will always be room for it in the adult world。
Early memories can be deceptive; in that they are usually quite appealing。 As if; in the whole range of emotions experienced by a young child; pleasure is the main one to register。
This innocent; infantile inclination to acknowledge only the positive may be a protective mechanism designed to build up our morale as a bulwark against difficulties ahead。
Or else these impressions are part of a myth created by ourselves; saying more about us than about our childhood。
Even so – they have to emanate from somewhere。
I recall – or believe that I recall – lying in my pram; being wheeled through a forest; watching high above the sun…lit tops of giant fir…trees standing out deep green against a clear blue sky dotted with cotton…wool clouds。 Birds are singing; brooks are babbling; the air has the fresh tang of earth and conifers。
Closer to; my mother’s face: her eyes sad; lost in the distance。 I call out to her; and she smiles。 I smile back。 Now we are both happy。
And I have a cosy recollection of her in middle of the night; ing to lift me out of my cot; taking me to her bed; where we curl up together。 I go back to sleep in her soft warm embrace; clutched by her like a teddy bear。
Giving fort; though I know nothing about grief; have no way of prehending the meaning of despair。
“But I had a happy childhood!” protested the man; to whom I’d tactfully suggested that his chronic health problems might be somehow related to the traumas I knew had overshadowed his early years。
We were close enough for me to gently challenge his assertion: “But with your mother dying so early… And not having a father…That must have been difficult。”
Childhood 童年(3)
“Oh I don’t know… I was lucky to have an aunt who took me in。 That was a lovely place。 She was very good to me。”
“Well her husband wasn’t。 I’ve been told that he used to e home drunk and beat both you and her。”
“These things happen。 And I was only there for three years。 Until my aunt had her breakdown and I was taken into care。”
“So how did that feel? Ending up in a home with no one in the world to turn to?”
“By then I was old enough to manage。 The brothers there were nice enough。 Some of them; anyhow。”
I left it at that; made no mention of the members of the order who had been sent to jail for interfering with children in their care。 I accepted that I had no right to force the wall of denial that only the man himself could decide to demolish。
